Let’s put it this way: Hinduism is not a “membership” kind of religion. In other words, in contrast to other religious organizations, one cannot simply point to a universal initiation ceremony and say that anyone who has gone through that ritual now is a member of the group. Hinduism is a very complex religion, involving world views, many different forms of beliefs and rituals, and multiple levels of social interaction. So, if you are looking for a point of “conversion” into Hinduism, it would be very difficult to put your finger on such a thing.
Let’s make a contrast with Islam, for example. One becomes a Muslim so long as one sincerely affirms the confession, “I give witness that there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” From that point on a person is a Muslim; whether he is a good Muslim or a bad one remains to be determined, but a Muslim he is. By contrast, then, there is no such point of entry into Hinduism. The very nature of the religion demands a self-identification on many different levels, which simply is not possible with a simple declaration.
Those who follow the Hindu way of life are Hindus. In the Mahabharata the great King Yudhishthira was asked, "What makes a brahmin -- birth, learning or conduct?" He replied, "It is conduct that makes a brahmin." Similarly, the modern Hindu may well state that it is conduct, based upon deep, practical understanding of dharma, karma and reincarnation, that makes a Hindu.
Supremacy is a strong word with implications.
No religion has supremacy over another nor can it ever. One is as good as another. After centuries we should have realised this.
Since one is good as the other in your belief .... have you tried practicing Islam ?

Hello ?
Guess what ? I found the founding bedrock of all the religions to be the same.
Hello ?
Yes, I have kep rozas for three years in a row. I have also been to Gurudwaras and performed ardas. There are a large number of hindu families who have their elder son follow sikh rites.
Guess what ? I found the founding bedrock of all the religions to be the same. What has been constructed over it by those who propogate it is flawed in as much as it has been twisted to suit narrow minded & bigoted interests.
